Sri Lanka should take a neutral stand on the Gaza Strip conflict as neutralism will help the country to achieve its goals, an SJB MP said today. 

“Sri Lanka should not support any party involved in fighting in the Gaza Strip and ensure that the adverse effects to the nation are minimal. Sri Lanka should focus on its own agenda, especially when it comes to the economy,” MP Eran Wickramaratne told a media conference.

 “Sri Lanka should see that the effects of the conflict on its economy are minimal,” Wickramaratne added.(Yohan Perera)
